Salvia ‘Amante’

Salvia ‘Amante’, bred by Rolando Uría in Argentina, is a tender perennial salvia that fills sunny gardens with vibrant fuchsia-pink flowers from early summer through to late autumn. Its long-lasting, nectar-rich blooms not only provide continuous colour but also attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

This variety combines bold floral impact with a graceful, bushy habit that works beautifully in borders, mixed perennial beds, and large containers. The aromatic green foliage adds texture and fragrance, enhancing the sensory appeal of your outdoor space. Its profusion of blossoms creates an energetic and lively atmosphere, bringing movement and vibrancy to your garden throughout the warmer months.

Being a tender salvia, Salvia ‘Amante’ requires protection during the winter, especially in colder UK regions. Growing it in containers or giving it a light mulch or fleece cover ensures it returns healthy and vigorous in spring. Occasional deadheading will encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy, compact appearance.

For gardeners seeking a long-flowering, pollinator-friendly, and visually striking plant, Salvia ‘Amante’ delivers effortless summer-to-autumn colour, fragrance, and charm, making it a standout addition to sunny borders and container displays.
